Having already triggered a controversy by his remark against "young girls going to pubs in short dresses", Goa minister Sudin Dhavalikar today waded into another, saying bikinis should be banned on state's beaches.

"Wearing bikinis should be banned on Goa's beaches," said Dhavalikar, state's Public Works Department Minister, comments that may not go down well with hordes of foreign tourists who throng Goa's shores every year to soak in the sun.

"We should not allow girls with bikinis to enter public places because it very difficult to control people who arrive in Goa from different states. By the time victim reaches the police it is too late. It is better to control such type of activities on the beaches," he said.

Dhavalikar, whose Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party is an ally of ruling BJP, said even Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar was in favour of such a ban.
